The ‘Four Lakes’ project was recorded during my time in the Mackenzie basin on New Zealand’s South Island. The Mackenzie basin or ‘Mackenzie Country’ as it is often referred to is a sparsely populated area of New Zealand home to snow-topped mountains, vast tussock fields and glacial lakes. Running parallel along the northern edge of the Mackenzie basin are its four largest lakes; Tekapo, Alexandrina, Pukaki and Ohau. It was on the shores of these lakes that I was able to find a serene form of silence that captivated my imagination. Unperturbed by the outside world with only the gentle sound of the pulsating lake tides I became immersed in another world, a sonic landscape of immeasurable beauty. These recordings aim to reflect the peace and tranquility that I found on the shores of those great lakes.
